Got the chicken platter, which was the daily special (and also the lunch special). It's small chicken cubes on top of rice and some potato. I got the recommended sauces: hummus, garlic & tahini, with a slight drizzle of hot sauce. The hot sauce was very hot. Even a tiny drizzle was pretty spicy. The dish was ok. The staff are quite nice. read more

I paid close to $18 for 6 pieces of mini falafels which had a mediocre taste, with a side of fries. The sides given were a very watered down tahini sauce which I couldn't dip because it was so watered down. I had to pour it over my food, which I don't like doing because it makes the fries soggy. No ketchup was given so I was stuck with my choices. The garlic sauce has a strange texture, it's thick but tastes watered down. If the taste was good, I wouldn't complain about the almost $18, even though it's a ma & pa fast food joint and the mini falafel with a side of fries should really only amount to $12 taxes in, maximum. Perhaps their meats taste good, but I wouldn't know, as a vegetarian. I definitely won't be going back there again, regardless of how hungry I am post workout, in the same plaza. I gave 3 stars but my honest review is a 1 star... I just don't like to hurt a business with low rankings, in the offset that they make changes. read more

Nick's Famous Shawarmas - a plate of fries and a fork - Lebanese Near Me - Aurora, Ontario

What happened to Nick's?? I first encountered this small resto about 12 years ago and loved the my shawarma meals. A few years later - yea, was still good! Went back a couple weeks ago looking for some of that good shawarma I remembered and was sorely let down. I couldn't finish my meal. With so many great shawarma options to choose from locally, not sure I have any reason to go back. read more

A local shawarma joint in Aurora! I got the chicken shawarma pita with all the toppings and it was huge. I definitely couldn't finish my pita all at once. Very filling and i'm not usually a shawarma person. The fries were also very delicious. I would recommend this resto, different options and very flavorful. read more

Best shawarma in Aurora by far woah! Chicken platter was solid!!!! Will come back soon!! Employees very friendly! read more

This place was nasty. One thing the food was gross and it was expensive. I hate this place would not reccomend

This place has been here for a while. It's a gem! I always get take out. The chicken shawarma platter is about $17. It comes with a salad of your choice, two potatoes, chicken shawarma on a bed of rice, hummus and one pita cut into four slices! Their sauces are pretty great, and don't forget to ask for hot sauce. read more

Nick's Famous Shawarmas - Lebanese Near Me - Aurora, Ontario

As close as it gets to the famous "halal guys" from New York. Would definitely go back. Meat was juicy, rice wasn't dry. Highly recommend read more

The shawarma here is so fresh and flavorful. I'll definitely be back and trying everything else on the menu. Some places soaked their chicken and sauce and there's no crunch on it, Nick's has the perfect balance. read more

There nothing special about this place at all. They're just average shawarma. It's $8 for a regular shawarma, you go to Toronto get the same one same size for the price of 2. It's a small restaurant read more

Located not too far from my work, I tried this place a few weeks ago as I was tired of the usual stuff around the area and wanted something new. Located in a strip mall (beside the Second Cup) this is a great place for dine in/take out. It's clean and there are enough tables to have a large family eat in. It's not fancy, but it's clean and not run down. I ordered the chicken Shawarma platter - the chicken is grilled in front of you so you know it's fresh. The meat is so juicy and flavourful. It's definitely one of the better chicken shawarma's I've had in recent memory. The rice and potatoes (my choices) were cooked to perfection and were tasty. The portions are pretty decent and the prices are a bit high but the quality, taste and friendly service makes up for it. read more

My husband and I love to go here whenever we find ourselves without kids. We love the shawarma platter. The owners are so friendly and they remember us. Our kids have figured out that it is a great place also. Love the garlic sauce and the hummus. Yum. The sandwiches are good also and fresh. The chicken is grilled in front of you so it is definitely hot. Love this place. read more

Nick's Famous Shawarmas - A pita made from the Chicken Shawarma dinner platter. - Lebanese Near Me - Aurora, Ontario

Nicks makes good lamb kebabs, I need to go back to try more things off their menu. The place is quiet, clean, loads of parking. They have sumac in the onions.. and make a tight wrap that holds its shape as you eat it. The staff are super friendly and helpful. read more

Pleasantly surprised. One of the best shawarma I have ever had It's like Osmow's food but 100x better. The food isn't dry, the chicken is juicy, rice is perfect. Their garlic sauce is best in the universe. I would 100x go back and recommend. Their dinner plate is very different style fron shawarma land so cant compare but definitely tied overall for taste in my eyes. read more

Nothing famous about this place. The food is overrated. Do yourself a favour and drive 10 minutes to Shawarma Land.

Woohoo! As good as it gets! It's a very good restaurant that you should try it out!!! read more

Nick's Famous Shawarmas - That's the best chicken shawarma dinner in town!!!! - Lebanese Near Me - Aurora, Ontario

My other half and I have gone to Nick's Famous Shawarma quite a few times. The way they put all of the toppings together with your choice of beef, chicken or lamb into a bag in a bowl & mix all the ingredients together make for a well tossed shawarma unlike any other shawarma place! All who work there are also very personable. We would rate Nick's place A+! Thanks Nick & staff to always make your place an enjoyable experience whether eating in or taking out. Thanks, Dena & John. read more

I was hoping a good shawarma place would open in the area. And it has happened with Nick's! I got a chicken shawarma pita for lunch. It worried me a little that the chicken wasn't being sliced off the spit but came from a little package and cooked on the flat grill. It smelled great though. They have all the classic ingredients as I know them for the sandwich - hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, pickled turnips, parsley, garlic sauce and hot sauce. Although the pita was smaller than other places, it was packed full of taste! The chicken was super tasty. It was delicious from beginning to end. I would definitely come here every time I have a hankering for shawarma. read more

I come to Nicks famous shawarma sporadically when I'm working in the area. Over the years I've probably been here 15 times. Every time I come it's the same. In a good way. The owners are very nice and they always remember my order. They put together a great meal for a great price and I'm always happy how it tastes. I have had shawarma in many places, and only one shawarma beats it (GAD in Cairo, Egypt.) The owners are extremely friendly and the food is inexpensive, but great. What more could you ask for. Stop in and try the Chicken Shawarma. read more

Used to frequent this place for lunch a few years ago.. LOVE LOVE LOVE the chicken shawarma. The garlic sauce is awesome. I went so often the owner knew my order. She's very welcoming and very sweet, as is her husband (Other owner? May or may not be her hubby) Check it out! read more

Outstanding flavor and great service, had the house salad and chicken shawarma with everything on it

Best falafel I've ever had! It's made fresh so prepare to wait a bit, but it is so worth it. Very crispy with lots of nice seasoning. And don't skip the bright pink pickled turnips-they're the best part! read more

This is one the best Shawarma places I have eaten at! I probably have this about 2 or 3 times a week and never disappointed! The service is great and very friendly environment. read more

Ever since the place changed ownership to a guy named Mike the quality and quantity has both hugely improved. Food now comes out hot and fresh, portions are good and justifies the higher price. Is it the best shawarma you'll ever have? Probably not. Is it worth the price and will it give you as good time? Absolutely read more

I pop by here every now and then for a lunch time bite close to work. The owners are great people and are very friendly. The food is always fresh and made-to-order. The prices are fair and the yummy food comes quickly. What more can I ask for?! read more

This is the absolute worst shawarma i have ever eaten. The staff are nice people but I wasted $15 and 20 minutes waiting for the shawarma platter. Absolutely and irredeemably disgusting. Dry, over cooked, and chicken was off. Stay far far far away!!!! read more

Nick's Famous Shawarmas - Dry and smells off. - Lebanese Near Me - Aurora, Ontario

Not very good food at all. Just spent $35 on takeout and it's all in the garbage. I'm pretty sure the chicken was bad.

Meh. Thought we would try out Nick's because it's the closest shawarma place to our house. Unfortunately we were pretty disappointed. We had the beef shawarma and the meat was super tough and barely seasoned. Portion size was ok. Garlic sauce was yummy and super garlicky though! Yum! All in all, 3 stars and we'll make the drive to at a better shawarma spot that's only a bit farther away. read more

Nothing famous or good about this place. Much better shawarma in Aurora. Very disappointed with the food, it was cold tasteless and obviously not fresh. read more

We loved this restaurant until we found the manager clipping his fingernails in the kitchen. The restaurant was as busy as we had ever seen it and he still decided to clip his fingernails right there in the open by the hot tables. We won't be eating there again. Disgusting. read more

Best Shawarma in Ontario hands down, amazing staff run by family the owner is so nice and knows his food, if you want a real shawarma com here and don't waste your time with all the other fake ones read more

Ordered through SkipTheDishes the other night and really enjoyed everything! We tried the felafel, stuffed grape leaves, beef shawarma platter and chicken shawarma pita, loved it all. Some of the best stuffed grape leaves we've ever had, and the portions were very large; we were eating leftovers for about three days! I really enjoyed the pita; highly recommend getting some hot sauce and tahini sauce on the side to dip in. Great taste, reasonable prices and large portion sizes, will definitely be a repeat customer. read more
